SuperComp Pacer v2

Race

​Light, snappy, and beautifully direct, the Pacer v2 pairs PEBA FuelCell foam with a bowed carbon plate to deliver elite propulsion without leaving the ground behind.
For runners who want super-shoe speed with low-profile control, it’s pure race-day focus in its fastest, most streamlined form yet.

In an era of towering race-day stack heights, the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Pacer v2 sets itself apart by delivering super-shoe propulsion in a stripped-down, road-connected format. Purpose-built for 5K to 10K efforts—and equally viable for marathoners who prefer agility over max cushion—it balances racing innovation with a traditional feel that keeps you close to your stride mechanics.


This update introduces a livelier 100% PEBA FuelCell formulation, paired with a slight increase in stack height for improved rebound, while still maintaining the low-to-ground geometry that defines the Pacer experience. Beneath it, the signature bowed carbon plate from the SC Elite v4 works in tandem with Energy Arc architecture, channeling each step into crisp propulsion and dramatic forward snap without added bulk.


The single-layer engineered mesh upper wraps the foot in featherlight breathability, locking in race-day security with a barely-there feel. Completing the performance package, an aggressive forefoot rubber layout adds punch to toe-off, helping you finish fast, clean, and fully in control.


Refined for efficiency, tuned for speed, and designed for runners who want pace-driven precision rather than towering softness, the SuperComp Pacer v2 brings a sharpened, elite-ready ride to shorter distances with unmistakable racing pedigree.
